Proverbs – Pt3
In Proverbs 4, we’re reminded to guard our hearts because everything we do flows from them. Jordan explores how guarding our hearts is less about building walls to keep the world out and more about paying attention to what is shaping us and who we are becoming. Our relationships, habits, fears, and the things we give our attention to are constantly forming us, and what once protected us can sometimes become a barrier to growth. Using the image of a team playing defense, Jordan encourages us to stay present, recognize when life calls for a different response, and surround ourselves with people who help us see what we might miss on our own. Guarding our hearts is not something we do in isolation, but a shared practice of remaining attentive to God, caring for one another, and learning to respond with wisdom as life changes.
